Paying 'keep' HELP!!!

gunsandbanjos

This has to be a troll surely?

If its not, a rough estimate of my monthly outgoings is about £1400. That includes mortgage/electricity/council tax/food etc.

Welcome to the real world:)

Yea she wont compromise as the bills come to more than 1200. She SAYS she is only asking us for the utilities and insurance. She still has to pay for her petrol and stuff but is using her savings.

Why should she profit out of me??

I highly doubt your £100 a week until you move out is going to go any way towards paying back what she's spent on you in your life nevermind allow her to 'profit out of you'.

This is your mother, !!!!!!. Grow up.

My son has been paying me this amount for a while now but with a good and honest heart. I am a single parent too. We both go without other things to keep a roof over our heads.

I do suspect you are winding us up though!:p

I think you could rent a room for £100 per week, however that wouldn't include food or anything like that, not sure it would allow you access to the phone or internet, you would have to use your mobile and get a dongle for your internet. You would have set times you could use the kitchen, shelves in the fridge and may be your own cupboard. You couldn't have set times to use the shower and not all people who rent out rooms like their lodger to keep personal items in the bathroom.
If you're really lucky you might get access to the lounge.
While I appreciate that you "eat " at work, its the wee extras, juice, coffee, tea, biscuits etc which all mount up and what about when you're not at work. You will still have to buy toiletries (although I'm sure toilet roll will be provided) do your own washing (on set days) which means buying your own powder and fabric softner. Might have to have it drying in an airer in your room.

Good luck in your move. I'm sure you will be much happier

I would ask all of your friends to tell you where you could get somewhere for less than that, and move there to be honest. It is all very well them saying that but unless you can find somewhere you're stuck. I would be very surprised if you could rent somewhere including bills and food for less than £100 a week unless you live on beans on toast or similar.

It does depend where you are, but presumably your mum could rent out your room for a similar amount to what she is asking from you, and from what you've written it doesn't look like she has a choice.

If you would rather pay towards paying off a landlords mortgage than your own mothers while she is struggling that is a shame. I also think it is very sad you think she is trying to scam you, perhaps you could have worded it slightly better and asked to be involved in the finances with a view to seeing if they could be reduced.

If this isn't a wind up then I think you are a complete and utter ungrateful ignorant twit.

So you won't help keep a roof over your mothers and yourself head when she paid for a roof over your head as a child? I'm 22 and I do my best not to take the Mick even when I just visit I pay for food.

She would be Better off with a lodger than you.

If you were my daughter I would have NO hesitation in throwing you out.

Glad there are not too many sons/daughters like you in this world.

So you'd go out and rent, and do exactly the same for the landlord......

I also cannot believe you are 23 and acting like this.

Whereas by contributing towards the mortgage, you are only contributing towards what one day might be yours....

OP, please open your eyes, you are coming across as a horribly self-centred person. You are 23, not 13, it is time you start looking after yourself and not expect your parents to do so. You have two choices, contributing to help your family and enjoy what comes with it, or break free and do what most 23 years old do, earn AND pay for your own living...
